That was just painful to read. When did Privman morph into Hovdey?

I'd vote for Blame first, then Glodikova, then Uncle Mo, then Zenyatta. I think Blame will win, but Team Blame probably ought to cut back on the "we are Horse of the Year....she had her chance" stuff. I think it's gonna rub some voters the wrong way.

Who the hell will get Champion Turf Male?

And people were naive enough to think that once Zenyatta lost, the Zenyattardism was going to die down!

Not me. I'm on record as saying it would be worse.

I didn't say anything, but I felt that it will likely continue until about a week after the HOY announcement is made.

By then, I expect all of the rest of us to have taken each others lives in a mass suicide pact.

BONZAI!

Uncle Mo's campaign was not chickenshit at all.

And yes, he is great. At least what he's done so far is. I'm not sure there is a difference.

First of all, and this has come up fairly often, the author does not write the headline. Secondly, what is the problem with Jay's article? It wasn't biased. It presented the story.

This whole thing has become beyond boorish, but Jay had a job to do, and I fail to see how he did it poorly. He didn't take sides.

And after reading the comments in the Jason Shandler article, I'm now 100 percent positive Blame isn't going to win horse of the year. I can only imagine the girl power outrage if Blame gets what he rightfully deserves. Joe Drape, Jay Privman, Jay Hovdey, and their ilk won't have the balls to do the right thing and go against the masses. It's over folks, Zenyatta is your 2010 horse of the year.

If someone offered me 2-1, I'd bet on Zenyatta. Would not surprise me in the least if she won.

As long as HOY is an opinion and there are no clear cut RULE or RULES as clinically deliniated as some of those who have no " emotions " feel they have enhanced their opinions with, this is exactly what will continue .

Even the biggest idiots and those deemed tards can see which neck ,nose ,length or football field passed the wire first .

Without said guidelines, an opinion other than yours--discounting of course flatulent yays and nays from both side--need not be tossed in the garbage .

Handle and tv ratings soared big this year, and I assure you it had nothing to do with Blame--and all of that is FACT .

I can not see from an unemotional standpoint that that is a deterrent to the sport--far from it .

Does anything say that counts for anything for HOY--nothing .

And nothing says it doesn't .

No... it had everything to do with it being on real, actual DIRT at Churchill Downs. Nothing else.
